Liliana jumped around on the sofa's armrest as if she was having a seizure. She loudly announced that she was the king of the world. This girl would occasionally fall into such an extreme state of excitement. I always thought that it was a psychological illness caused by the accumulated mental trauma. Liliana didn't deny it herself. Do you think she can still be saved?
After hearing Liliana announce that she had already ruled the world, Icetis couldn't help but show her head. The Pervert Goddess suspected that this crazy girl was planning to usurp the throne because the Protoss's records were very clear. The real kings of the world were only me and Sandora … Later, when she found out that it was Liliana going crazy, she decisively went back to Sandora and continued to study the four ways to eat steamed buns.
"I say, are you done?"
I looked at Liliana jumping around on the sofa's armrest like an agile squirrel. I resisted the urge to slap her down for the third time and said fiercely, "You are the king of the world? Have you ever seen a king of the world wearing Bubble Socks? "
Liliana jumped to the ground and grabbed Jingle and placed her in front of me. "The Goddess became a God when she was a little more than three inches tall. Don't judge your strength by your appearance. I believe that I, the Pope, have the ability to rule the world. As long as you let me lie freely, boss."
Just as Dingdang was counting her hair on my head, she was grabbed by her own archbishop. At this moment, she blinked her eyes in confusion and looked around for a long time before saying, "So what if it's three inches? In the Goddess of Life, three inches is already very tall! Jingle is shorter than the tallest Goddess of Life by a grain of rice! Ah Jun, return that candy to Jingle. It is stuck to your head … "
"Damn, why do you have such a bad memory!"
I hurried to take Jingle's candy off my head. She didn't mind it being dirty and continued to lick it. While licking it, she mumbled, "Let the mortals return to God's embrace? Liliana's idea is very interesting. The mortals on this planet have indeed lost their faith for a long time, but Jingle doesn't think it's a big deal. Whether they believe in religion or not, Jingle can only eat six pieces of gummies a day. Ah Jun, you have the final say. "
"Tell me honestly, what are you planning to do?"
I pressed Liliana down on the sofa and looked at the little chick's blinking big eyes. I felt a headache again.
She was usually too noisy, and she had the personality to stir up trouble no matter how big or small it was. Maybe it's fine for a person to stir up trouble once in a while, but Liliana was simply a weirdo who stirred up trouble. She could stir up everything she could for several years and leave her own heavy taste in every serious matter. Do you think an ordinary person with a conscience would do something like this?
Just like not long ago, she had just stirred up the human moon exploration mission and openly showed her face in front of the moon rover. Now, I was a little suspicious that she wanted to let the matter continue to ferment. Liliana didn't seem to be satisfied with the turmoil that she had stirred up among the ordinary people. She was preparing a more magnificent script to turn the whole world upside down according to her ideas.
"Boss is boss." Liliana had a harmless smile on her face as she sat on the edge of the sofa. Her short legs were swinging quickly in the air. This was a sign that she was thinking fast. "But what I want to do this time is really simple. Mortals shouldn't develop on their own. They need a higher power to guide them. The people who should guide them should be you and Sister Sandora. But now, you guys aren't interested in it, so this person can only be me. I want to continue to appear in front of the mortals as a ghost of an extraterrestrial civilization. I will use the story that I have prepared for them to guide those ignorant people to think about what they should think. Humans should not only know that the universe isn't desolate, but they should also know that the universe isn't safe. A civilization that has lasted for tens of thousands of years can be destroyed in the blink of an eye. This is the usual trick of the missionaries: to scare you and then control you. "
I stared at Liliana until she couldn't help but turn her head and whistle. Then, she lowered her head and hugged my arm. "Of course, boss, if you don't want to, then forget it. I will always listen to you. But I think I'm doing the right thing. "
"Actually, you just don't trust humans."
In the end, I gently rubbed Liliana's little head and said in a calm tone.
She didn't reply, but I felt her body stiffen for a moment. It was obvious that I had hit the nail on the head.
Liliana was definitely not a saint who cared about the world, nor was she a sage who would consider the future of the entire human race. She couldn't even be considered a good person. The dark side of this little girl who was only 1.09-meter tall was hard to imagine. Even though she was the spokesperson of a righteous God, there were many times when even the leaders of the cults would tremble when they heard of her actions. For example, in the Great Nebula, she used a few seconds to slaughter billions of people on an entire planet. How many Hitlers would it take to accomplish such a great feat?
Liliana had a sense of distrust towards most mortals. This was a psychological problem caused by half of her life experience. After becoming a demigod, she firmly believed that all humans were sinful and that only she, the great "teacher", could correct them. Of course, this dangerous worldview had been reversed by her elder sister's family rules. The only thing that didn't change was Liliana's determination to control all mortals.
She was always busy preaching, using many methods that we thought were absurd, hilarious, childish, and even idiotic. She spread the teachings of that stupid God, Doraemon, to the entire Macro World. I once thought that it was just some childish game of a little girl, but one day, I realized that hidden within her 1.9-meter-tall body wasn't a little girl at all, but rather a soul that had experienced the vicissitudes of life. The Church of the Goddess of Life, which originally only had a single believer, had unwittingly become a colossus that had spread throughout the multiverse, with tens of billions of believers in every world.
A report from the Space Administration had given me and Sandora a fright: in at least 1,600 worlds, the Cult of the Goddess of Life had become the local mainstream religion. The monks of the Goddess of Life, who had actual divine powers, had easily snatched a shocking number of believers from the local pseudo-god religions. Only a small portion of them were personally trained by Liliana, while the rest were managed by the Valiant Spirits and a few of Liliana's trusted bishops. This little girl had an unimaginable ability. Without us realizing it, she had turned that playful religion into the only legitimate religion in the New Empire.
And the reason why Liliana did all of this was not because she had some shameful plan, nor was it because she wanted to play some tricks in the New Empire. The fundamental reason was so simple that it was ridiculous: she felt that mortals were unreliable, so she enslaved them to make herself feel at ease.
"Only those who are obedient are safe," Liliana lowered her head and said slowly in a very low voice, "I know this is strange, and I'm not normal, but I have to control all mortals. They are all unstable factors... Boss, I'm doing this for your own good..."
"Of course I know, otherwise I would have beaten you with a slipper."
I held onto Liliana's head and forced her face to look at me. I stared at the little girl until she felt uncomfortable and opened her mouth to bite me.
"It's fine as long as you know your limits. Earth is not a macro world, so you are not allowed to preach."
"Of course I won't preach," Liliana waved her hand with a relaxed expression, "Actually, it is a very tiring job. In a situation like this where billions of people would be fooled with just a few words, only an idiot would put in the effort to establish a religion!"
After the little girl said that, I instantly felt relieved. Actually, I wasn't worried about her tricking the people of Earth at all. This world is a place where people are tricked. Politicians tricked the people, churches tricked their believers, teachers tricked their students. Everyone was tricked and tricked with a clear conscience. What you know will always be what they want you to know. This is the law of the world. You can complain about it, but you have to accept it. So with the addition of Liliana, it would at most be adding another weirdo to the long history of human tricking. It had nothing to do with me.
The only thing that worried me was that Liliana shouldn't think about promoting the fourth religion on Earth. No matter what reason she used, it would be too troublesome. These days, the investigation of cults was very strict.
I told Liliana to do it, and she really did it. Her efficiency was amazing. After the spacecraft returned to the ground with twenty kilograms of meteorite samples, she once again appeared in front of ordinary people: as an extraterrestrial spirit.
The analysis of the meteorite samples in the capsule involved the issue of research rights. This was the first time in human history that so many countries participated in the same project. Who should the twenty kilograms belong to?
The entire human race? Nonsense, other than the saints who won the Nobel Peace Prize eleven times in a row, who would really believe this nonsense? Not to mention, which country was the most suitable for the research of the meteorite samples?
If it was in Russia, the United States wouldn't do it. If it was in the United States, Russia wouldn't do it. If it was in Korea, the whole world wouldn't do it. Obama had said that if anyone dared to announce that the meteorite was dug out from Hallasan, he and Putin would each lead three thousand troops to Seoul. Of course, this sentence was relayed to me by Liliana.
Of course, you could choose to cut the meteorite into dozens of pieces and take one piece for each person to play with. Unfortunately, science couldn't be like children splitting watermelons. The lifeforms in the meteorite samples were not uniform, and the physical properties of the meteorite itself were not clear. No one had the guts to cut them up before the research began.
So, more than a dozen countries discussed for a long time, from the moment the spacecraft passed through the gravitational equilibrium point until the spacecraft was salvaged from the Pacific Ocean. In the end, they reached an agreement: they would find an uninhabited island in the Pacific Ocean where the spacecraft landed and establish a joint research base. All participating countries would send their own scientists to conduct joint research, and the results would be made public. This joint research base was later called "God's Factory," meaning that it was a place where humans studied the results of God's work. Obviously, it would eventually develop into a bridgehead that ushered in a new era of human understanding of the universe. Any results that appeared here would forever change the understanding of the universe and life on Earth. However, that was all in the future. Now, the scientists here were having a headache because of an uninvited guest that "came" to Earth with the meteorite.
Let's rewind time for a while, back to the moment when the meteorite samples were transported back to this laboratory that took two days to build. Although it was a little crude, it had already taken shape. At the same time, let's see what this research base that had begun to change human society looked like.
Also, by the way I mentioned the speed of construction of this laboratory, I think I need to be impressed by the work efficiency of humans after they unleashed their potential. In forty-eight hours, they used prefabricated materials and airdrop facilities to build a research base of more than ten thousand square meters. They even built a temporary airport on the narrow island next to it that could accommodate three airplanes taking off and landing at the same time. This efficiency … military technology was indeed different from civilian technology.
The metal box containing the meteorite samples was escorted by a large group of soldiers to the research base. First, it underwent external disinfection and infrared detection for up to twenty minutes to prevent any "foreign objects" from interfering with the subsequent work. After that, it was sent to a completely enclosed laboratory. The moment the laboratory door was closed, it was completely isolated from the outside environment.
The scientists who were preparing to participate in the first contact with the meteorite were already prepared in the spacious laboratory. They wore heavy protective suits and even carried a fully enclosed oxygen circulation system that could work for three hours. Except for the logo of the space agency, they were dressed as if they were going to work in space. Their wills were placed on another island three kilometers away from here. A military plane was on standby. If the laboratory was destroyed, the plane would send the wills back to China.
The laboratory was completely enclosed. Not only were people not allowed to enter or leave, but even the air was circulated internally. Its several layers of walls were filled with enzyme solutions that could kill all life (at least life that humans knew of). When the door was closed, this place became completely enclosed like a space capsule.
With such tight security, even a fungus would have to go through at least eighty-one difficulties to get out of the room. This was to prevent the extraterrestrial life samples carried by the meteorite from spreading to Earth's environment. For a long time, humans had been working hard to find life outside of Earth, but when it really appeared in front of humans, it made them tremble with fear. Because no one knew what impact those life forms from outer space would have on the Earth's ecological environment, but one thing was for sure: the cold medicine produced on Earth would definitely not be able to kill the cold virus from Centaurus. Once any cell of an extraterrestrial life successfully survived on Earth, it would be invincible in the world, and the nearest natural enemy would probably be billions of light years away.
The establishment of the laboratory on an uninhabited island in the center of the Pacific Ocean was not only to ensure international neutrality, but also to prevent the extraterrestrial life samples carried by the Lunar Exploration Vehicle from contaminating the Earth's ecosystem. The Lunar Exploration Vehicle and the returning spacecraft were also locked down. As they had come into contact with the lunar soil, they were also key targets of surveillance. Although the violent friction in the atmosphere could ensure that the remaining life forms on the surface of the returning spacecraft would die, the Lunar Exploration Vehicle inside might still be contaminated with living cells. Therefore, they were now tightly sealed in a huge iron tank, just like the fully enclosed laboratory.
This series of fully enclosed research facilities was not the only barrier used to prevent the spread of extraterrestrial life. The ultimate barrier was buried under these islands … nuclear bombs.
Once the life tissues in the meteorite samples were confirmed to be harmful and the laboratory was exposed, these islands would be wiped off the Pacific Ocean by a series of nuclear explosions within ten seconds. All the countries involved in the "God's Factory" project had made up their minds to do this. The person in charge of the base also knew very well what they were sitting on. There were plenty of meteorite samples, and there were enough meteorite structures left on the moon to flatten the entire Manhattan area. However, if dangerous extraterrestrial life were to spread in the Earth's ecosystem, everything would be over.
Liliana thought the careful arrangements of the Earth scientists were a joke, but Sandora gave them a very high evaluation. Her Majesty the Queen believed that it was necessary for human scientists to be cautious and meticulous in this regard. It was in line with the basic spirit of scientific research. Of course, we all knew that the cells in the meteorite did not affect the Earth's environment at all. If it did, Jaina and the others would have been banned from entering Earth a long time ago. In fact, before today, life from another world had already come into contact with the Earth's ecosystem. Didn't Isana knock off a large piece of her scales on a nuclear submarine not long ago …?
In any case, the heavy protective suits worn by the experts and scholars who participated in the experiment did not seem so ridiculous now. This was not because they were afraid of death, but because they were responsible for all of humanity. As people who could freely enter and leave the laboratory, once they were infected, they would be the most likely window through which the extraterrestrial virus could spread into the atmosphere.
"The sample is in good condition. The laboratory's air circulation has been activated. We have three hours to work."
A worker in a heavy protective suit placed a heavy metal box on the operating table in the middle of the laboratory with the help of machines. Because he was wearing a ventilator, his voice came through the speaker on his back. "Local time, 16: 17. The meteorite sample is opened for the first time in the Earth's environment. Hansen, please prepare the recording equipment."
Another worker in a protective suit pushed a lot of strange equipment to the operating table. After that, under the watchful eyes of the people in protective suits, the heavy metal box was opened.
A piece of irregular stone with a dirty, dark green metallic luster appeared in front of the scientists. There were many other meteorite samples of the same texture but much smaller in size.
"Beautiful …"
One of the workers in protective gear couldn't help but be attracted by the shiny green meteorite sample in front of him. He couldn't even move his eyes away. Judging from his tone, he was probably a geologist.
"This only proves that its radiation is very strong, but it is not any known radiation." Another worker in protective suit came over. "First, save the main part of the meteorite. We will start with the smallest sample."
Based on experience, the experts on the scene concluded that the meteorite sample had high-energy radiation, which was also in line with the fact that the energy explosion occurred on the moon's surface. But in fact, the light they emitted had nothing to do with radiation. The Saron Evil Iron originally emitted light, but for scientists on Earth to realize this, they would have to wait for Yog-Saron to come to Earth.
Just as a bunch of workers in protective suits were nervously preparing to separate the meteorite sample and send it to different parts, the crystal-like stones gradually emitted a faint light …
